“I think he merely notices them and enjoys recognizing something familiar.”

I agree wholeheartedly. There may be more to it — what made him fascinated from the beginning by his number and letter puzzles? — but seeing something we recognize in a world of strangeness is a powerful pleasure. And if numbers are his greatest fascination, he also loves states, and owls, and playing the piano, and “outside!”

Yes, that fascination is pervasive. Today at church a song called for repetition with “(2x)” – Joseph read the number aloud. We were invited for lunch, and Joseph played with UNO cards after lunch, reading the numbers. He later counted to 100 in French with our hosts. I think it’s too early to say he sees numbers in everything, or sees things through a numbers lens; I think he merely notices them and enjoys recognizing something familiar. But much may come of these (crazy) humble beginnings.

And our Vividancer – well, I’m curious to see where that goes, too. 🙂

Joseph spins — Vivienne rocks!

I find it hilarious that even in the videos of Vivienne you hear Joseph counting in the background: in English, in German, by ones, by twos, trying to keep up with the video camera counter … but always counting.
